Transfer multiple accounts, issue

I'm about to move all my accounts to a new server, but I noticed that the "Transfer multiple accounts from another server" feature doesn't work anymore ever since they upgraded that feature... I enter the IP of my old server, port 22, select "Login as: root", select "Password" as authentication method, etc. But when I press "Fetch account list" it doesn't list any packages or accounts... I checked this feature on another server too, and it seems to do the same. A cPanel bug or something? Any chance I can fix it? I need to start moving my accounts asap.

I have always had issues with this tool having completed many account transfers, so this isn't something I would expect to see fixed in the next build. I found that if you do say 4 or 5 accounts at a time, it works fine. Do any more and the page will just error.

How many accounts do you have on your server?

If you have a managable number of accounts (e.g. 150 or below) then you could consider manually generating the backups, sending them via remote ftp and then restoring them one by one. This is a time consuming process, however it has worked well on more than one occasion.

If you want to try and do it manually and could use some extra hands, I am also currently available to assist you with this for a small fee.

If I have a bunch of sites, I would shove the backups into directories just under a gig each then archive each directory. It amounts to handling allot less files for ftp then unpack and multiple restore.

I have about 200+ accounts hosted on that server and would like to transfer all of them as soon as possible as I am going to update my registered nameservers to the new server IPs once all accounts have been moved. Is there any other way to automate this process? I was thinking about setting the WHM backup tool to my new server and make the server send a daily backup to it, then use the WHM "restore multiple accounts" feature. Any advice?
